Revitalize your lawn and restore its health with Lawn Dethatching Services from Lee’s General Landscaping and Yard Clean-Up. Dethatching is an essential lawn care service that removes the layer of built-up organic matter, such as dead grass and roots, that can choke your lawn and prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil. With our expert dethatching services, your lawn will thrive and grow stronger, greener, and healthier.
Service Overview
Lawn dethatching involves the mechanical removal of thatch—a thick layer of organic debris that accumulates between the soil surface and the grass blades. This service is especially important for lawns with heavy foot traffic, old grass, or slow-draining soil. Dethatching promotes better root growth, improves lawn health, and enhances water absorption, which can ultimately lead to a more vibrant lawn.
Details of the Service
Included Tasks:
- Thatch Assessment: We begin by evaluating the thickness of the thatch layer on your lawn to determine if dethatching is necessary. Lawns with over 1/2 inch of thatch are ideal candidates.
- Dethatching: Using specialized equipment, we remove the thatch from the lawn, allowing for better airflow, nutrient distribution, and water penetration.
- Grass Recovery: After dethatching, we provide recommendations on lawn care to help your grass recover and grow stronger, such as fertilization or overseeding.
- Debris Removal: We clear away the debris left behind after dethatching, leaving your lawn neat and tidy.
- Follow-up Care: We monitor the progress of your lawn and recommend additional treatments like aeration or fertilization to promote healthy growth.
Best Practices:
- Timing: The best time for dethatching is during the growing season—usually early spring or early fall—when your grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.
- Proper Equipment: We use professional-grade dethatching equipment that ensures efficient removal of thatch without damaging your lawn.
- Aftercare: Following dethatching, it’s essential to give your lawn some extra care, such as watering, overseeding, and fertilizing, to help it recover and thrive.

FAQs
1. How can I tell if my lawn needs dethatching?
If your lawn has a layer of thatch more than 1/2 inch thick, it’s time for dethatching. Thatch buildup can cause water and nutrients to struggle to reach the roots.
2. When is the best time to dethatch my lawn?
The best time to dethatch is in early spring or early fall when your lawn is actively growing and can recover quickly. Avoid dethatching during hot summer months when the lawn is stressed.
3. Will dethatching hurt my lawn?
No, when done correctly, dethatching helps your lawn by allowing it to breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow stronger. However, it is important to follow proper care after dethatching to promote recovery.
4. How often should I dethatch my lawn?
Dethatching is typically needed every 2–3 years, depending on how quickly thatch builds up in your soil.
